Andrea Martin Performs "No Time at All" from Pippin

[@thatgirlnaat]

Omg I did not expect that!! No wonder she won a Tony for this performance! She is so talented, and her ability to sing well while hanging upside is incredible. Wow!!

[@whatevertherapper]

I didn’t think watching Andrea Martin fly was on my list for today but here I am. Insane. Bravo!

[@virginiavass1597]

NO WONDER SHE WON A TONY FOR THIS

[@macrichardson7440]

I went to school with Andrea and I can tell you all. She was a pure joy then and she is now too ! What you see on stage is who she is off stage. Pure joy

[@JacquelinClark]

This is, hands down, the best number I have ever seen. I saw Pippin when it was in previews (so no one knew about this scene yet) and people were literally crouching off of their seats /standing/ nearly jumping up and down as she continued to do more daring stunts. I've never seen anything like it and I feel SO lucky I got to see her. Top 10 life moments.

[@jasminderpinder]

You're SO lucky to have seen her in this. Good for you!

[@sharongelfand5065]

I saw "Granny" Irene Ryan as Berthe when Pippin first opened. Hers was a show-stopper too, spunk and gumption but no magnificent acrobatics. She was dying, and the audience never knew.

[@luciavonletkemann5462]

I saw it in previews too, in Cambridge, and the whole thing was so amazing, my sister & I just say and cried after it was done. This number alone was out of this world. Andrea Martin is a goddess ❤️

[@chrisking8910]

totally agree longest standing ovation ever

[@elisedesignss]

@@chrisking8910 YES! It literally stopped the show for about 5 minutes. I think she took 2 additional bows beyond what was shown in this video! Completely unreal.

[@SweatyOracle]

Andrea Martin's performance of this song one of the only mid-show standing ovations I've ever given and never have I jumped up so fast to clap for someone in my life. A masterful performance.

[@MiltonJenkins]

Same here. Added a tear of smiles.

[@JacquelinClark]

SAME!

[@kennrothman205]

I was involved in a local community theater production of "PIPPIN"....we had finished months of rehearsals...built the sets...the costumes were ready...and we had just finished tech week....48 hours to opening to a sold out house....and then COVID shut the world down and we never got the chance to open. Watching KZbin performances like this make me feel like it actually happened...knowing all the songs and the storylines of the characters.......THANK YOU ALL!!!!

[@nozzwald]

I think seeing this performance live was.... the happiest moment of my life? Definitely up there.

[@ronronizetti2534]

Isn’t that beautiful that a complete stranger can give that to another ~ the magic of theatre! Love it

This revival was simply magic. I wound up seeing it three times, and Ms. Martin received a standing ovation at the end of this number every single time. Thank you for posting this vid!

You're not the only one! Some things are that good

[@brendarodgers5686]

It's pure joy and happiness.

[@Greg-fs2rh]

Saw it on Broadway and it was one of those magical moments. I also got to sing in the choir they recorded for this song for the Cast Recording of the revival. She showed up a short while before we finished. That was a day I will never forget. If you listen to the recording, notice the harmony differences at the end. Stephen Schwartz was so happy with how things went that he say in front of us and re-arranged the end of the song for the recording. And our group picture is in the center of the CD booklet.

[@dylansmith1833]

It was an AMAZING production. I've seen lots of Broadway shows, and this ranks in the top 10.

[@lynnsocal]

Saw her in LA on the tour. She's amazing. Absolutely kicked ass. It's not hard to win with this role -- it's one of those roles that written as a showstopper. The song isn't hard, the lines are funny, the whole scene just *works,* but seeing her up on that trapeze was also goddamn inspiring.

[@gabriellacattani3076]

I am playing Berthe in my HS production of pippin. I feel so honored to share such an amazing role and song with some of the greatest actresses to ever be on the stage. I hope I can bring her to justice!

[@idkputwhatever6614]

This weekend my sister is playing berthe in her high school performance

[@denyseleonard240]

Andrea Martin had us all singing, laughing and whooping it up in the audience. She got a huge standing ovation on the afternoon I saw this. She is such a wonderful performer and I feel privileged in seeing her play this part.

[@susanbensch1981]

Andrea Martin is excellent! I saw Pippin on Broadway with Iren Ryan. The song means more as I get old.

[@RobertPagano226]

I saw Irene too

[@pblodgett]

I had the privilege to see this live and she absolutely stopped the show - the most amazing moment of theatre I’ve ever seen.

[@HARRYZUKO]

[@jasminderpinder]

@@JacquelinClark Add me to the club..I'm in tears too!!! Every time I need a little positive boost I watch this video. Andrea Martin is simply fantastic! Have always been a fan of hers. Love her to bits. Wish I could have seen her live in this.

[@mikegrossberg8624]

I've seen/heard three different performances of this number: Irene Ryan, Martha Raye, and a performance in a high school production, by a girl whose name I never learned. All three were high energy, and excellent. Now I can add Andrea Martin to the list!

[@donnalehman7354]

[@HannahLarocque]

I was just cast as Berthe for my high school’s spring musical. I was an understudy but her original actress quit. Now I get to play her! I’m so thrilled that I get to play this amazing role as a freshman! I don’t think I’ll ever be able to do Andrea Martin‘s performance justice but I’m still honored that I get to try my best!

[@WeiserShare]

This is terrific. A very winning performance. I am an Andrea Martin fan from the early SCTV days. She and SCTV were hilarious. ---I could waylay ---Some aging roue ---And persuade him to play in some cranny

[@karlarasmith5944]

This performance was wonderful! I read in her book Lady Parts that she is afraid of heights which makes her trapeze section even more amazing! She is an underappreciated woman, comedian, actor and performer. Love to see and hear her in just about anything.

[@susanklein3302]

My favorite show of all time. I loved every minute of this performance in 2013 and wish I could see it another ten times! Thank you!!!

[@potroastpig]

I wish they would release this whole show on DVD - I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Andrew Martin is a national treasure.

The great Andrea Martin! So glad I found this clip… What a great song from a great lady! (I still have fond memories of Martin’s “Edith Prickley,” station manager of the SCTV network.)

[@nancywehnau1054]

I took my niece to see this in Boston some years ago - after this performance but pre-COVID, I think - with Adrienne Barbeau in this role. She is actually a couple of years older than Andrea Martin, but they still did the whole trapeze thing. Amazing! Stupid me, I didn't even realize it was her until after the number. I'm old enough to remember her in "Maude" so was completely shocked to see her name in the Playbill.

[@conishkee]

01/19/21: Oh, how fun!! I never knew of Andrea Martin until Big Fat Greek Wedding, and now I'm scouring to see anything she's been in. She's fantastic and so versatile. I just love her!!

Saw this version twice in MA and then again on Broadway. Andrea Martin is absolutely amazing. Way back when this was on Broadway in its first production (20-30 years ago ???) this role was played as an old lady in a wheelchair, the opposite of Martin’s interpretation.

[@justinnaniong7872]

You can really see how the perception of being older has changed in 40 years. Back then, the expectations of an old grandmother were subverted by Berthe being sassy and witty. Now, Berthe's a cougar and doing death defying stunts like one of those cool grandmothers who live 'til 90 because they're doing aerobics and Zumba and stuff.

[@briansavage8887]

That old lady was Irene Ryan - Granny on The Beverly Hillbillies One performance, she sang the song, walked offstage and had a stroke and later died.

I found this after I just read Martin Short's autobiography, when he mentions he met Andrea when they got parts in a show named "Godspell" in Toronto (Victor Gabler, Gilda Radner and Eugene Levy were there too!). He says Andrea was walking around, slapping herself on her chest, looking at everyone and saying "you want this, don't you?!", and then she left. I mean, how can you just no love her?.

In terms of Saturday morning cartoon voice acting, she was (to me) Queen Slug-For-A-Butt on the cartoon adaptation of "Earthworm Jim". She was also a cast member on the Canadian sketch show SCTV (she, Joe Flaherty, and Harold Ramis are the only American-born cast members. Tony Rosato is the only international-born cast member, and everyone else is Canadian-born).
